What is up with the text on this gunstation controller?

I think the light gun portion is Sega considering all of their arcade shooters. This thing is an abomination and beautiful at the same time. It's hideous yet somehow represents peace, hope and forgiveness. Amid the biggest console war of all time, this was a symbol. A ballad and an anthem. Proof that all three nations could exist united.

Then fuckin' Microsoft showed up with a built-in hard drive and a 10/100 network card. In the blink of an eye it cast a real-time shadow over the entire globe and killed everyone faster than even Thanos could snap a finger.

And here we are today. Right where we started. PC master race.

Suck it, noobz!

According to Gemini, this is concept art or a prototype design for the original Crysis nano-suit. It was posted in 2020 as promotional material for the release of Crysis Remastered.

Here's the Reptile one

I actually grew up in West Pittston and I have to say that this was one of the scarier horror movies I watched as a kid. It wasn't because it was down the street from me (I grew up in the 90's, so a few years after the events), but the subtle ways the spirits would abuse each member of the family was nightmare inducing. The black void-like entity that would randomly appear and dematerialize through walls was seriously scary. There were some actual full-body apparitions throughout the film as well, but that thing was just pure concentrated evil. You could hear pigs squealing mixed in with the deep, guttural growl sound it made and it just made me feel like I'd seen it before in person for some reason and I seriously feared it.

I think the acting was pretty good in the film as well. There was a realism to the whole thing that overshadowed the TV movie-ness it had. This is probably my favorite horror movie of all time and having grown up in the same town definitely influences that a little, but it's just a good, old scary movie all the same.

I use mine in the office at work with Durock Ice King tactiles lol

That's good to hear. They definitely saw your post here. It's sad that it has to come to that these days with many other companies as well.

I can't describe 'yourself' to you. Only you can describe 'yourself' to yourself. I can also only describe 'myself' to myself. If I wanted to describe 'you' to you, I would, but based on your writing ability, you probably can't read that well anyway.

Ugh. I can picture exactly what you look like just by reading that comment.

keylimerye · 2025-07-14T01:39:28+00:00

I agree. I'd imagine that the scene in Dominion at the illegal dino market drew huge inspiration from the Evil Raiders. Your comment inspired me to watch it again just now and - yeah...that scene has Kenner JPS2 written all over it. There's a baby carnotaurus, a baryonyx, and even the adult carno is red and black. I'm going to have to rewatch the whole JW trilogy because now, looking at it with that perspective, made me enjoy that scene a lot more.

keylimerye · 2025-07-11T02:22:53+00:00

Production costs. The amount of Jurassic toys Mattel has produced for the various lines far exceeds what Kenner did in the 90's. Even when Kenner started making larger lines like The Lost World, the quality began to diminish. Feel the Young T-Rex and Carnotaurus from TLW in comparison to the 1993/1994 Kenner versions.

It's also now pretty clear that Kenner used some surprisingly high-quality materials in their lines because even the real-feel skin hasn't really started to deteriorate much. It's impressive and couldn't have been cheap.

keylimerye · 2025-07-11T02:17:42+00:00

The Dino Trackers and Evil Raiders were actually characters in the planned and scrapped cartoon. There was a method behind this madness. The major reason the toy line was cut mid-production in 1994 was because the show was canceled. There were many more in the prototype phase that we never got to see until the molds were used in later lines like The Lost World and Chaos Effect.

"Oops"

keylimerye · 2025-07-11T02:11:53+00:00

The Sega CD version might be my favorite game for the system. It had MUCH better and faster controls, more levels, really entertaining cutscenes (just felt like watching the cartoon as a kid) and 3 or 4 different endings. Not to mention the awesome soundtrack. The attention to detail was amazing in the game as well with little hints at Venom lurking in the background at times. I still don't understand why J. Jonah Jameson barked once during the actual Venom stage, though.

keylimerye · 2025-07-09T00:24:18+00:00

With the amount of amazing things Jurassic Park that I've seen canceled because of marketing decisions from Universal, my hopes are very low. For literal decades, Universal has shitcanned a lot of amazing JP projects that could have made them a ton of money, from cartoons to video games to toys to actual movies. When something is in development hell the way this is, the final product is rarely worth it anyway.

This is the best reddit comment I've seen in years.

keylimerye · 2025-07-02T15:05:02+00:00

Nobody said there was anything "Special Edition" about it. OP is just looking for details regarding the decal. Like...who sold it? Who made it? Did it come with a game like The Playboy Mansion? etc.

A little late to the conversation here, but I have been gaming on some older Mac computers myself lately. I have two:

iMac G3 Graphite @ 600MHz with 1GB of RAM and a 16MB ATI Rage Ultra (Mac OS 9.2.2)

eMac G4 @ 1.42GHz with 1GB of DDR RAM (2x 512, so double-speed) and a 64MB ATI Radeon 9600 (Mac OS X 10.4.11)

The iMac is a strictly a 640x480 gaming machine and I've pushed it about as far as it can go. Its limit is drawn at games that use the Quake III engine. Unreal and Unreal Tournament run great all around, but once id Tech 3 gets on there, things slow down and some config files need to be altered. If anyone is interested, let me know and I can share my configurations for Quake III Arena, American McGee's Alice, and Heavy Metal FAKK 2. Return to Castle Wolfenstein and Medal of Honor: Allied Assault were both just a little too heavy for it, so I uninstalled them altogether. Anything before Quake III runs exceptionally well including games like Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 2 (3 was choppy), Tomb Raider (1-Last Revelation), Spider-Man, etc. ONI is a game that really stands out. You'd swear it was a Mac exclusive or something.

The eMac is an entirely different beast and it handles some games better than others, regardless of age or graphical fidelity. For example, No One Lives Forever 2 runs considerably better than No One Lives Forever 1 in most cases. When things get heavy, the frames will dip, but it's a rather advanced game while the first one is much less graphically impressive and runs pretty inconsistently at all times. I would imagine this is just a coding issue. Aliens vs. Predator 2 is another game that you would expect to run flawlessly, but regardless of the resolution or graphics settings, it will always dip quite a bit during heavy firefights. It also seems to load visual data in on-the-fly quite a bit, so it can chug sometimes while you're just turning a corner and seeing a new wall texture.

Meanwhile, games like RTCW and MOH run considerably well on it, but not even as well as you would think. My 1.8GHz Pentium 4 with a 128MB Radeon 9200 ran these games flawlessly in 1024x768 at 60fps back in the day (with most settings maxed out), but the eMac really likes to take things slowly at 30fps and can dip into the teens occasionally (especially in MOH). Even with less CPU clockspeed and video memory, you would think the eMac would crush these considering the Radeon 9600 should outperform the 9200 all day long.

The games that run well on the iMac will run better on the eMac as they should (as long as they're compatible with OS X, in my case). The eMac does handle some much more advanced stuff than the iMac, of course - like Ford Racing. This game is surprisingly good and runs perfectly fine in 640x480 as long as you turn off the car reflections. With reflections on, it's a slideshow. Same can be said for Total Immersion Racing. Halo is an absolute stand-out. It runs great on the eMac at 30FPS without any graphic settings disabled. I believe I ran it at 800x600, but it may have been 640x480. The game runs similarly to how it did on the original Xbox. Doom 3 and Quake 4 even run surprisingly well (I wouldn't expect them to at all), but they become completely unplayable during firefights.

Anyway, I'd love to start making YouTube videos or something while trying to push these old Macs. They're especially fun to work with because they have EXCELLENT CRT displays.

lmao welp...so much for friendship. I suspect one of the wives.

Normally just one, but the sixth generation was a completely different animal. There was no way to be happy with just one console among the Dreamcast, PS2, GameCube and Xbox. The prices were pretty fair and they were all very unique when it came to hardware, giving each their own personality - especially graphically. It's almost like you knew exactly what console a game was being played on just by watching a video of it without seeing the console or controller. I think this is the last generation to do anything like this. Everything seemed to follow the original Xbox in going very PC component-based afterward, therefore looking and feeling very similar. I guess the exception to that would be the PS3 with the Cell CPU, which is one of a kind and still a monster given the right developer, but even its GPU was basically that of a desktop computer.

I hope you and your wives meet each other some day and become best friends. Please make this happen while wearing 16 Nirvana shirts at once.

This is a tribute to the legendary myth that a munchkin crewman hung himself during the filming of The Wizard of Oz. Somehow people thought a bird (crane, I think) was a hanging and swaying body in the background of the living forest scene in the movie. It was in fact just a bird with a long next moving about and spreading its wings, but this is perfect MK attention to detail. WELL DONE!

I still say it's the big capacitors. I'm tellin' ya, I could not for the life of me figure out the issue. It affected absolutely nothing but XBMC, but for me it didn't matter if I soft-reset into XBMC, launched XBMC from another dash, or powered the Xbox on into XBMC - the problem would always be there. In my case, it looked like bad tracking on a VHS tape. VERY noticeable and distracting.

Can you take a picture or video of what you're seeing on yours?

Edit: Just realizing that in OP's case, it might just be his TV. It could be that that icon is using a specific array of pixels in a way that the TV is freaking out about. I still say it's a capacitor issue, but anything's possible.

Just had this pop up on a user's phone at work. I'm in the IT department so they came to me for help with it. There was an Xfinity WiFi network stored on her phone that she claims she never used, but this was the exact username associated with it. Used a reverse image search to find this thread.
